I bought my first car in 1986. I had been looking for a 69 Charger for months. One morning I was looking through the Southside Shopper (a local classified paper) and an ad caught me eye.

1969 Dodge $1000
xxx-xxxx

I showed it to my dad, who had went that morning and got the paper for me before school, and he said “go ahead and call”.

A sweet older lady answered, and I almost dropped the phone when she answered my question as to which Dodge it was she was selling.

”It’s a Charger”

My dad let me skip school. We headed to Raleigh where the car was and I bought it with my own money I had saved from working all summer with my uncle framing houses.

The lady was the original owner, bought it new at Palm Beach Dodge in ‘69. It was an SE, A/C and leather car. 383 Magnum automatic.

I loved that car.
